Would Toyota get more respect on the street from Nascar fan's if they made a new V8 Supra?

Question

Let's get real, Toyota makes very good car's there's no doubting that whatsoever, but there line-up is boring to say the least. They have the Camry, Corolla, Prius etc.

Dodge has the Viper, Hemi Charger and now the new Challenger which is already a classic. Chevy has the #1 sports car in America with the Vette and the new Camaro. Ford has the 'always' Mustang and pumped out a few GT-(40's) lately.

So when is Toyota going to take Nascar and it's fan's seriously and build something that will actually stir people's emotion's?

Answer 1

Of course, a V8 Supra will create an impression. But hold your horses, Toyota ain't dumb to create a waste. Let's get real, with gasoline prices on sky-high, they would rather stick with the 4 - 6 cylinders.

Answer 2

no. they would gain respect by winning races. and besides, (most) the fans are there to see their favorite drivers. a v8 supra is out of the question. especially bucause now a days, there are so many other means of acheiving monster horsepower without needing monster displacement
